The most energy-efficient shade — insulate against Florida heat and lower cooling bills.
Cellular shades — also called honeycomb shades — use a distinctive honeycomb-shaped cell that traps air and creates an insulating barrier at the window. In Florida, that means less heat coming in, a more comfortable home, and lower cooling costs.
Beyond efficiency, cellular shades offer one of the widest fabric ranges available, from airy sheers to complete blackout, along with sound absorption and a clean, softly textured look.
Insulating honeycomb cells reduce heat gain at the window — a meaningful benefit in the Florida climate.
From light and airy to complete blackout, with a huge palette to match any room.
The cellular structure also helps dampen outside noise for quieter, calmer rooms.
Top-down/bottom-up and day-night options let you place light and privacy exactly where you want them.
Advanced single, double, and D-cell constructions for maximum insulation, with 500+ fabrics and self-leveling cordless operation.
Best for: Bedrooms, sun-facing rooms, energy-conscious homes
Sheer · Light-filtering · Room-darkening · Blackout
Single / double / D-cell · SmartFit top-down/bottom-up · DayNite · Skylight & specialty shapes
SmartRise self-leveling cordless · Smart Motorization / AutoWand
Two shades coupled on a single headrail: a light-filtering honeycomb and a room-darkening honeycomb work together so you can glide from soft, diffused daylight to full privacy and darkness — all from one shade, without ever swapping treatments. The ideal one-window solution for spaces that need to do it all, day into night.
Best for: Bedrooms, media rooms, living spaces needing day-to-night flexibility
Light-filtering + room-darkening in one · Sheer-to-blackout range
Two coupled honeycomb fabrics · One headrail, seamless transition · Insulating cellular construction · Custom fabric pairings
SmartRise self-leveling cordless · Smart Motorization / AutoWand
Available in two distinct styles: Standard honeycomb, whose cellular pockets trap air for extra insulation at the window, and Architectural honeycomb, with a larger 3/4" cell size that gives the classic honeycomb look an updated, modern profile. Both pair seamlessly with Lutron motorization and smart-home control.

Motorization is the ideal solution for out-of-reach windows and skylights: because there are no cords or wands to reach, a motorized honeycomb shade lets you cover an overhead skylight at the push of a button or on a schedule. Custom skylight cellular shades are built to fit angled and hard-to-reach openings, tensioned to travel smoothly along the glass, and combine that access with the insulation that keeps Florida heat from pouring in through the roof.
A look at cellular (honeycomb) shades we've measured, made, and professionally installed across the Suncoast.
We offer cordless and motorized lift options across our cellular (honeycomb) shadesthat eliminate hazardous pull cords, meeting the industry “Best for Kids” safety standard. It is a simple upgrade that makes your home safer for young children and pets without compromising style.
The honeycomb-shaped cells trap a layer of air between the room and the window, creating insulation that slows heat transfer. In Florida that reduces heat coming in during the day, easing the load on your AC and helping lower cooling costs.
These are constructions with larger or layered air pockets that provide even greater insulation. We help you choose single, double, or D-cell based on the window exposure and your energy goals.
It is a versatile lift that lets you lower the shade from the top or raise it from the bottom — so you can bring in daylight up high while keeping privacy at eye level.
Standard honeycomb shades use cellular pockets that trap air to add insulation at the window. Architectural honeycomb shades feature a larger 3/4" cell size that gives the classic honeycomb style a more updated, modern look. We help you choose the style and cell size that best fit your energy goals and the look of your room.
Yes — skylights are one of the best applications for motorized honeycomb shades. Since skylights are overhead and impossible to reach by hand, a motor lets you open and close them by remote, app, voice, or an automated schedule. We build custom skylight shades to fit angled and sloped openings, with a tensioned track that keeps the shade taut against the glass, and the insulating cells block a huge amount of heat that would otherwise pour in through the roof — a big comfort and energy win in Florida.
Significantly. Skylights are a major source of solar heat gain and harsh overhead glare. A cellular skylight shade traps air at the glass to slow that heat transfer and diffuses or blocks the light, keeping the room cooler and more comfortable while protecting furniture and floors from fading.
Dual shades — like Norman SmartFit Dual Shades — combine two honeycomb fabrics on a single headrail: one light-filtering and one room-darkening. Because both are coupled on one system, you can position them to enjoy soft, diffused daylight or pull down to full privacy and darkness without swapping treatments. It is the perfect one-window solution for bedrooms and living spaces that need to transition from day to night.
Their pleated cells trap a layer of air at the window, creating insulation that slows heat transfer. In Florida that means less solar heat pushing in during our long cooling season, easing the load on your AC.
More cells and larger air pockets generally mean more insulation. Double-cell offers a strong balance of energy efficiency and a slim profile, which we often recommend for Florida homes.
Yes. Room-darkening and blackout cellular fabrics are excellent for bedrooms and nurseries, combining light blocking with insulation.
Dust with a feather duster or vacuum gently on low. For spots, blot lightly; the cells should not be scrubbed. We provide fabric-specific care guidance at installation.
Yes. Cordless and motorized lift options remove hazardous cords and meet the "Best for Kids" standard — a smart choice for family rooms and nurseries.
Yes, and they pair beautifully with top-down/bottom-up and whole-home smart control for scheduled privacy and energy savings.
Yes. Cellular fabrics can be fabricated for arches, angles, and skylights, making them a versatile choice for the unique windows common in custom Florida homes.
The same trapped-air cells that insulate also help dampen sound a bit, softening echo in rooms with lots of hard surfaces.
Bedrooms, nurseries, and any hot west- or south-facing room benefit most, where insulation, room darkening, and privacy all matter.
Pair and compare complementary products to design the perfect room.
